A CASE OF KILLING.
TRIAL OF DANIEL T. HALL FOR SHOOT
ING gH0CH sP0TswooD.
A Verdict Found from Which the Prisoner
Will Scarcely Care to Take
an Appeal.

In the Hastings Court yesterday Dan
icl L. Hall, colored boy, was tried on
the charge of shooting and killing Enoch
Spotswood. The jury, after half an
hours consultation. brought in verdict
OF guilty Of voluntary mauslaughter, and
fixed the punishment at five years in tho
penitentiarJ-the extreme penalty for
the offence.
HISTORY or THE CASE.
This case grew ont OF the shooting
which took place on Sunday the l4th of
August on the flats near the elevator of
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. A
number of negro boys were together
playing dice for money. Deceased, who
was not in the game, scrambled on the
ground after the money OF the others.
An alteration took place between the
deceased aud the prisoner, and the
former picked up stone or brick and
went towards the latter, who drew
pistol. which was discharged. the ball
entering the left temple and passing
through the brain of the deceased.
Death ensued instantaneously
PaIsoNERs DEFENCE.
The theory of the defence was that
deceased struck the arm of the prisoner,
and thus discharged the weapon.
The testimony was very conflicting,
and the evidence of several of the wit
nesses before the court differed material
ly from the evidence at the Coroner's in
quest.
HIS H0NoB's INSTRUCTIONS.
The Courtinstructedth the jury--frst, on
the law as TO self-defence second, as to
misadyenture ;and third, as to the doubts
in favor Of the prisoner.
Mr.. S. Is. Witt represented the Com
monwealth and MIR. Edgar Allan the
defence.

That Famous Goose Case.

The results of the "g0ose case,
which was tried before Justice
Hutchins and jury several weeks ago
and about which there was good
deal of public comment at the time,
are still before the public, in the way
of criminal proceedings. The facts
briefly stated are about these: Be.
fore the lawful season for goose hunt
ing had opened, upon complaint OF
Charles Grassman charging Fred.
Gieske with unlawfully killing wild
goose in the town of SYnnes the lat
ter was arrested, brough before the
Justice above named, given a jury
trial and was found mot guilty."
Seemingly bad blood was caused by
this affair which eliminated in fra
Gus between the parties interested
not long since; during which it is al
lodged that Mr.. Grassman felled his
adversary by a stunning and effective
blow upon the head with a pitchfork
INJECTING a severe cut. Mr.. Gieske
threatened vengence an the one at
whose hands he was thus subjected
to such alledged cruel treatment.
The consequence is that for the
threats so said to have been made
on Saturday last Chas. Grassman had
Fred Gieske arrested for the purpose
of requiring him to give bonds to
keep the peace. But it appearing to
the court that no sufficient grounds
were shown the application was re.
fused and Mr.. Gieske discharged.
Later the same evening upon com.
plant of Fred Gieske, charging
Grassman with assanlting him with a
pitchfork with intent to do great
bodily harm, the latter was brought
before Justice Hutchins for hear.
ing. Waving examination he was re-.
quired to give bonds in the sum of
$3.50 for his appearance at the next
general term of district court. The
bonds were readily furnished, and all
was serene at lastaccounts.

Concerning /: ak Judgments.

The following is an important
opinion recently rendered by Attor-
ney General Clapp upon the question
of the right to seize exempt personal
property to satisfy tax judgment:
s.There is a conflict of authority
upon this question in the different
states. some holding that exempt
property is not exempt from process
to enforce collection of taxes. others
holding that it is. It is well settled
rule of law that the state is not bound
by legislative act unless named in
the act. Applying this rule some of
the courts, without much considera.
ton of the subject, have held that the
state would not be bound by the ex.
emption granted. Other courts ap-
plying the same principle that the
exemptions are granted as matter
of public policy and that it is better
that the creditor should occasion
ally lose debt than that the debtors
should be impoverished of every.
thing thereby becoming public
charge. Exemption laws have been
passed on the principle that 1t is
as much for the interest of the peo-
pie of the state that such state OF
sffairs should not exist. They hold
that public policy requires that prop.
erty exempted on this principle shall
not only be exempt from private
debts but shall also be exempt from
process issued in the enforcement OF
taxation I am Of the opinion that
the latter rule is the better one and
that exempt property could not BE-
seized upon execution issued to en-.
force collection Of taxes. OF course
| in case of real estate different rule
prevails, because there the tax is {
lien upon specific property and the
law contemplates the sale OF same re
CARELESS of whether 1t Is exempt o.
not. .
